fatx chain corruption bug - was it ever fixed in gentoox?
Posted: Thu Sep 13, 2007 11:46 pm
I found this post over on XS by rmenhal...
(can't add url yet) - go over to xbox-scene forums, into the XBE exploits sub-folder, and read my last post in the topic Reintroducing Kernel Patching - Nkpatcher.
In summary, he states, "All fatx files created with Xbox-Linux kernel are slighly corrupt in the eyes of MS Xbox kernel."
I'm wondering if this bug has ever been fixed in Gentoox? It appears that ALL the kernel 2.4.xx patches over at xbox-linux still have this bug - it doesn't appear to have ever been corrected. The kernel 2.6.xx patches appear a bit different (maybe cache.c is redone) so I'm not sure if this bug exists on any xbox kernel 2.6.xx builds.
What bothers me about this bug is that it doesn't appear to be all that well known, yet the fact that virtually all xbox linux distros write incorrect end-of-fat-chain markers could possibly explain many "unknown" problems xbox users have - especially after using xboxhdm to install a bigger drive.
Basically, heads up!
Bit.
